Re Adams, beside Pagudpud.. Mode of transpo is Habal-habal (motorcycle). I think more of hiking destination siya.. Unique din naman kasama sa shoot niyo yung riding habal-habal' cute 

[hann-hann]

may naka-try na ba dito na mag avail ng tour packages? yung all in na? we will travel kasi as a group so bet ng barkada yung complete package na since we'll also bring our kids. one of us found a travel agency that offers tour packages kaya lang when i checked reviews sa Facebook page, andaming negative. baka may masa-suggest kayo na okay ang services. thanks in advance!

Nagchange of plans kami ng sister ko from Pangasinan-Baguio to Laoag-Vigan-Pagudpud. I've been researching like crazy for the past few days since this will be the 1st time na mag out of town ako ng walang reservation. We plan to do it April 6-8.

April 5 pm - Bus to Laoag
April 6 am - Arrival at Laoag, Laoag Tour (we just need a tryc for this, right? malapit lang ba mga tryc sa bus station?)
April 6 pm - Check in (should we check in sa Vigan area o sa Laoag area)
April 7 am - Vigan Tour (or pdeng 1 day magkasama si Vigan and Laoag tour?)
April 7 pm - Check in (Pagudpud resort)
April 8 am - Enjoy pagudpud
April 8 pm - Bus to Cubao

Sorry kung maraming tanong. TIA!

I prefer 1st nyo ang Vigan, 2nd ang Laoag then last yung Pagudpud. Malalayo kasi distances nila eh. Saka mas makaka save kayo ng time. From Manila, 1st nyo madadaanan ang Vigan, so don na kayo magcheck in and magtour. Then after, saka kayo mag-Laoag, 2 hrs din travel time from Vigan to Laoag eh. After Laoag, saka kayo pumunta ng Pagudpud, 1.5 hrs travel time. Do you have contact na ba na magtotour sa inyo? I know someone, si kuya Arnel. Nagtotour sya sa Pagudpud, then may mga contacts sya sa Laoag and Vigan na pwede magtour sa inyo. Pwede nyo na sila kontakin agad para susunduin na lang nila kayo. Just let me know kung interested ka so I can give his number

[hellfire007]

Thanks sa input. Pa-pm nungnumber ni Kuya Arnel. TIA! Is is possible na tour lang gawin sa Laoag then deretso Pagudpud na aftr? Yun lang dala namin luggage namin o.o

[unsophisticatedme]

Hmmmm pwede naman [textspeak!], iwanan nyo na lang gamit nyo sa sasakyan..basta your important belongings are with you. By the way van ba kayo or tricycle?

[rocky]

^^sis hellfire007, mas ok kung unahin nyo pagudpud dahil yon pinakamalayo. then laoag & last vigan para mas malapit na kayo sa manila pag pabalik

kuya lenzer, 0906-8185735. nagtotour sya sa pagudpud, laoag & vigan. dami ng sis natin natour nya

[unsophisticatedme]

Kay Kuya Arnel din kami nag-avail ng tour back in 2013. He assigned a driver to us na mabait. We didn't have any problems. Okay naman mag-iwan ng gamit sa van. Nilolock naman ng driver yun if aalis to roam around.

[unsophisticatedme]

Yeah, kuya arnel is the best tour guide/photographer pa. he became known when he was featured in a blog by a blogger whom he help during her solo travel in ilocos.

 ewan ko kung totoo,clueless dib kasi ako sa tour agency "cheaptravelph" name nya. Baka may nakakakilala sa kanila. Nagdown pa lang kame ng 50% e.

Magagawa kaya lahat yan in 3 days 2 nights?

[rocky]

^kukulangin oras nyo sa day 1 kasi sa vigan pa lang madami na. yong iba sa laoag lalo na yong mga park skip nyo na pati kay marcos. paoay church & sand dunes lang worth it. day 2 skip nyo na agua grande & paraiso ni anton, sayang lang sa oras

[thebratinella]

mga sis, may alam kayong tour package from manila to ilocos via van? panic mode na brother ko and his friends kasi nagcancel yung nakuha nilang tour guide for the end of april. too late na to get plane tickets kasi mahal.

Naisip ko lang pwede bang commute lang talaga? Kasi feel ko lang pumunta sa pagudpod.. hahaha.. and 2 lang kami ni bf.. hindi ba mahirap mag travel nun? Thanks!

[purple_girl]

^pwede naman sis. bus lang kayo going to pagudpud, if walang direct trip, bus to laoag, from laoag, bus ulit to pagudpud.
